Tire temperature states:
. Cold —Drive with caution as tire
performance may be degraded.
. Cool —Drive with caution as tire
performance may be degraded.
. Normal —Tires are at normal
driving temperature.
. Warm —Tires are ready for
aggressive driving.

Launch Control
If equipped, Launch Control is
available within Competitive Driving
Mode and Performance Traction
Management (PTM) to allow high
levels of vehicle acceleration in a
straight line. Launch Control is a
form of traction control that
manages tire spin while launching
the vehicle. This feature is intended
for use during closed course race
events where consistent zero to
60 and quarter mile times are
desirable.
Launch Control is only available
when the following criteria are met:
.Competitive Driving Mode is
selected or any of the
Performance Traction
Management modes are
selected. The TCS light comes
on in the instrument cluster and
the appropriate Driver
Information Center (DIC)
message displays.
. The vehicle is not moving.
. The steering wheel is pointing
straight. Manual Transmissions
.
The clutch is fully pressed and
the transmission is in
1 (First) gear.
. The accelerator pedal is rapidly
applied and held to wide open
throttle.
Launch Control will initially limit
engine speed as you rapidly apply
the accelerator pedal to wide open
throttle. Allow the engine rpm to
stabilize. A smooth, quick release of
the clutch, while maintaining the
fully pressed accelerator pedal, will
manage wheel slip.
Automatic Transmissions
. The brake pedal is firmly
pressed to the floor, equivalent
to a panic brake event.
. The accelerator pedal is rapidly
applied to wide open throttle.
If the vehicle rolls due to wide
open throttle, release the
throttle, press the brake pedal
more firmly, and re-apply the
accelerator to wide open throttle. Launch Control will initially limit
engine speed as you rapidly apply
the accelerator pedal to wide open
throttle. Allow the engine rpm to
stabilize. A smooth, quick release of
the brake pedal, while maintaining
the fully pressed accelerator pedal,
will manage wheel slip.
After the vehicle is launched, the
system continues in Competitive
Driving Mode or PTM.
Competitive Driving Mode, PTM,
and Launch Control are systems
designed for a closed course race
track and not intended for use on
public roads. The systems are not
intended to compensate for lack of
driver experience or familiarity with
the race track.
Custom Launch Control may be
available through the Settings
menu, if equipped. See
“Custom
Launch Control” inTrack Events and
Competitive Driving 014.

Limited-Slip Differential
The Electronic Limited-Slip
Differential (eLSD) is a hydraulically
actuated clutch system. It can
infinitely vary the clutch
engagement between 0 and 200
Yof breakaway torque between
the rear wheels. It responds to full
engagement within 0.150 seconds
when necessary. Smaller clutch
adjustments happen even faster.
The eLSD:
. Uses the vehicle sensors and
driver inputs to determine the
optimum amount of clutch
engagement for the conditions.
. Improves traction while
cornering by changing the
engagement to achieve a
balance between directional
control and acceleration.
. Provides optimal engagement
for high-speed control and
stability without affecting precise
steering and turn-in. .
Improves vehicle stability during
spirited driving and evasive
maneuvers. Is fully integrated
with the Active Handling and
Performance Traction
Management (PTM) systems.
There are unique calibrations based
on the Traction Control System
(TCS) setting. eLSD modes change
automatically when
Yis pressed.
No unique input from the driver is
required.
. Mode 1 is the standard mode
when the vehicle is started.
It provides a touring calibration
with an emphasis on vehicle
stability. Mode 1 is also used in
PTM Wet mode.
. Mode 2 is engaged when both
TCS and StabiliTrak are turned
off. This calibration provides
more nimble corner turn-in, and
is biased for better traction out of
corners. .
Mode 3 is engaged when PTM is
engaged in Dry, Sport 1 & 2, and
Race modes. This is a nimble
calibration with similar
functionality as eLSD Mode 2,
however, it is integrated to work
with PTM.
. Mode 4 is engaged when TCS is
selected off, but StabiliTrak
remains on. Vehicle stability is
still the priority, while allowing for
optimized traction out of corners.
The ZL1 coupe and SS 1LE are
calibrated uniquely and optimized
for their unique powertrain and
chassis combinations.

Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
The engine air cleaner/filter is in the
engine compartment on the driver
side of the vehicle.
When to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
For intervals on changing and
inspecting the engine air filter, see
“Maintenance Schedule” in the
owner ’s manual.
How to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
Do not start the engine or have the
engine running with the engine air
cleaner/filter housing open. Before
removing the engine air cleaner/
filter, make sure that the engine air
cleaner/filter housing and nearby
components are free of dirt and
debris. Remove the engine air
cleaner/filter. Lightly tap and shake
the engine air cleaner/filter (away
from the vehicle), to release loose
dust and dirt. Inspect the engine air
cleaner/filter for damage, and
replace if damaged. Do not clean
the engine air cleaner/filter or
components with water or
compressed air. To inspect or replace the engine air
cleaner/filter:
1. Remove the five screws and lift
the cover assembly. Use
caution not to drop any of the
loose screws.
2. Inspect or replace the air cleaner/filter.
3. Reverse Steps 1 and 2 to reinstall the housing cover.
